  • Brilliant podcast

    I’ve had the pleasure of listening for a while. I always learn something new and the conversation is a joy to listen to. The trio of Boomguy, lazyTitan and Kako (not sure how to spell this one, sorry) work so well and they compliment/mock each other constantly. Very entertaining.

  • 30 seconds WAS all it took!

    While listening to the podcast, I’ve equipped my wimple, took 30 seconds out of my day, and left a review for this amazing podcast. If you want to get better at playing Marvel Champions, listen in. Amazing guests, card breakdowns, and episode themed decks? This is a great look into the minds of Boomguy and LazyTitan (sometimes a third, guest character; a cameo if you will). Subscribe and leave your own review if you find them even half as entertaining as I do.

  • Ten Stars

    Best one-card Marvel Champions podcast in the game. Always interesting and insightful, even if I don't always agree.

    Would be a ten star review, but Boomguy drags down the average.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E93: Nick Fury (Hero), feat. VJakson!
Q: What makes Fury feel like a 'best-in-theme-to-mechanics' marriage, in your view?
The design nails the spy fantasy through the suit form upgrade, form flipping, and threat management that rewards clever timing and information-gathering, all while delivering punchy attacks. The synergy between theme and mechanics is cohesive across the hero card and supporting cards, producing an immersive experience that also plays well in a variety of deck builds.
E93: Nick Fury (Hero), feat. VJakson!
Q: Why does Nick Fury have three traits on both sides, and how does that affect gameplay decisions?
Having three traits on both sides emphasizes Fury's multifaceted identity as a shield agent, spy, and soldier, which broadens card synergy and enables more consistent access to key trait-based effects. It also makes him a flexible but potentially more complex deck-building experience, since many cards and upgrades interact with those traits.
E93: Nick Fury (Hero), feat. VJakson!
Q: Could you describe the scene on Nick Fury's Alter Ego card and explain how it ties to the spy theme?
Nick Fury is depicted as a covert operator riding the waves in a stealthy assault form, which visually and mechanically reinforces his role as a spy who gathers intel and hits hard when needed. The dual forms—assault and stealth—are thematic and interwoven with how he shifts between gathering information and delivering decisive action.
E91: X-23 (Ally), feat. Mr. SelfDestruct
Q: What makes X-23 stand out as a three-cost ally in leadership?
Its burst potential is exceptionally high for a three-cost ally, with the ability to deal nine damage in a turn when used with recursion and support cards, and the option to ready after each successful attack gives it repeated value.
E90: Angela, feat. Leethus!
Q: What makes Angela so fun to play despite some potential whiffs?
The discussion highlights the thrill of flipping cards to find a minion, the free ally play, and the possibility of chaining Out-of-Beat moments with Overkill and other power cards.
